• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5D232 - You cannot hide data when creating a batch input session ?

  The SAP error message 5D232 ("You cannot hide data when creating a batch input session") typically occurs when you are trying to create a batch input session that includes fields that cannot be hidden or are mandatory. This error is often encountered in the context of using transaction codes that involve batch input sessions, such as SM35 for processing batch input sessions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to create a batch input session where certain fields are set to be hidden or are not being populated correctly. In SAP, some fields are mandatory and must be filled out for the session to be created successfully. If these fields are hidden or not included in the batch input, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Settings: Review the fields in your batch input session. Ensure that all mandatory fields are included and populated correctly. You cannot hide mandatory fields.
  
  
  Modify the Batch Input Program: If you are using a custom program to create the batch input session, ensure that it is not attempting to hide mandatory fields. Modify the program logic to include all necessary fields.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction Codes: Make sure you are using the correct transaction codes and that the data you are trying to input is appropriate for the transaction.
  
  
  Review Batch Input Data: Check the data you are trying to input. Ensure that it meets the requirements of the transaction and that all necessary fields are filled.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are working with to understand which fields are mandatory.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the batch input session creation again to see if the error persists.
